"On a self drive safari in Kruger Park, we happened across a water hole which reminded us of the cast of the Lion King! It had everything from rhinos to kudus. We sat entranced for several hours. The next day we returned and were lucky enough to see a pregnant leopard drinking from the waterhole."

"While I was in South Africa, one of my safari stops was in Thorneybush, which is next to the main part of Kruger Park. While I was there our group went off road and saw four cheetahs. It was dusk and we watched them for over an hour."
